Gin my neighbours dog has a nose tumor. He hasn't eaten much in the last couple of days. Just drinking. I feed him a pure natural baby food in a tube and he ate it all. Sadly it is time so they will take him for a run on the beach this weekend at their beach house and then put him to sleep.

Gillian was good in the UK but in the USA nobody had heard of it. I got called Gideon, Julian, Gilliam (hard G) and was assigned to the boys' gym class at school at age 13 -- very embarrassing. So I became just Jill

Hello, ((Ruby))

5:22 am

zoozzoom

How is your husband today??..did the nurse come round?

5:25 am

rubyfoo

she hasn't been here yet and he is much worse. Trembling all over. It's very scary

5:25 am

rubyfoo

and he adamantly refuses to go to the hospital

5:26 am

zoozzoom

It must be very hard for you, Ruby being torn between his wishes for no one to help him and you wanting him better, hope the nurse gets there soon for you.

5:27 am

rubyfoo

and maybe he'll listen to her.

5:28 am

zoozzoom

I do hope so, maybe you could have a chat with her before she sees him and you could explain he is stubborn..and she might tell him to think of your feelings as well as his own..that might work.

5:30 am

rubyfoo

fortunately, since she came here for 3 months to treat his dog bites, she knows him well. And I spoke with her on the phone yesterday

5:32 am

zoozzoom

Thats a good start then at least..lets hope everything will turn out well.

5:32 am

rubyfoo

thanks for your support, zzoozz!

5:34 am

zoozzoom

You are more than welcome, Ruby, :-)

5:37 am

51 quick words and I had better go and check on the patient!

that lo5.10 is the second lo word

I want to bake Lickety a cake, I'm so happy that he's back.

Lickety is no granny figure I can assure you

6:35 am

gortmold

yet he brings out the dewy-eyed cake-making urge within all of us

6:35 am

I think Gort was likening Granny affection, not Granny looks.

6:37 am

The lo 5/10 is a misspelling of a nickname for Luis.

6:37 am

herinfernallady

I heard today about the levy tax not sure it is a good thing. I mean the stores jack the prices and the farmers get diddly

6:38 am

MollyL

Agh, or Louis.

6:38 am

gortmold

yeah no such thing as perfect justice this side of heaven, but i think the tax is an ok idea

6:39 am

lynxxx

lo5 actually slang for an army ranking

6:39 am

gortmold

altho wouldn't it be nice if everyone just volunteered more dosh?

6:39 am

suefrad625

is it the one that rhymes with the rat word that you are talking about?

6:40 am

herinfernallady

Gort I think with price rises that is hard. My b.f hasn't even seen a doc in I don't know how long (his medicard is expired) and he pays heinous amounts and never gets a tax return

6:40 am

MollyL

I don't know about the rat word. It rhymes with Rock singer David's last name. Trif has a thing for him.

6:40 am

lynxxx

A polly on the radio today has been pushing for a 'disaster ' fund for 15 years...seems like a very reasonable thing to do and to be included in every Budget - we get enough of them

6:40 am

lynxxx

No Sue

6:41 am

herinfernallady

Lynxx I think that would be a brilliant idea

6:42 am

gortmold

u r right - it is hard to give enforced. fun to give by choice tho

6:43 am

herinfernallady

I would dearly love the local councils down here to crack down on puppy farms then Animal lib wouldn't have to get volunteers to fork out donations to help the poor critters. It is so hard at the moment. The floods here and in Queensland and the wildlife it doesn't help when puppy farms do the wrong thing

i break out in a rash every summer

rash from the heat or the sun products?

rash from the sun car

8:37 am

well, aids AND a rubber allergy would be worse. But glad you are in the north now.

8:37 am

Ouch. If I am out too much I get a rash. But after living in Hawaii, I am fanatic about high SPF sunscreen, and now I don't seem to get the rash as much.

::is disgusted that the fed gov didnt close today after all the drama of yesterday::
is "working from home" in protest.

9:42 am

crosshair

why would it close? what happened yesterday?

9:43 am

MollyL

Really Eva. With all the people who abandoned their cars last night, you would think the Fed would get a clue.

9:43 am

EvaNadine

well, granted, our snowfall is nothing compared to what you get up there, crossy, but we got like 9 inches in my area. the roads didnt get properly pre-treated because it started as more of a rain, and because people were all ON the roads getting home, the gridlock that ensued caused mass chaos. people who left work at 4-5 didnt get home until past midnight.

9:43 am

EvaNadine

in response, we got a whopping 2-hour delay.

9:43 am

crosshair

good grief...9 inches..call out the army looool

9:44 am

crosshair

soryy..snort...

9:44 am

EvaNadine

i know, i know. but in this area, they just dont handle it well. they dont budget for the supplies or labor.

9:44 am

crosshair

but i can see where it might be a problem in some areas

9:45 am

EvaNadine

major highways were a total parking lot and people have abandoned their cars left and right.

9:45 am

EvaNadine

but hey, lets all go back to work!

9:45 am

crosshair

the govt never closes,they have to keep grabbing that tax money lol

9:46 am

EvaNadine

yeah. who cares about the safety and well-bring of their employees.

9:46 am

crosshair

in our case 85% goes to winter road maintience lol

9:47 am

MollyL

Yeah, well people were not snorting when major highways were closed and they couldn't get home.

9:47 am

EvaNadine

we are lucky if we get plowed once. ecstatic if we get salted/sanded. but then, that melts the snow which ends up re-freezing into ice, and oops, no budget to take care of that!

9:47 am

crosshair

happens all the time here,i cannot count the times i had to crash in a place out of town due to road closures

9:48 am

crosshair

have no choice here,if you drive around the barriers you get fined and your insurance becomes invalid

9:48 am

EvaNadine

roads werent "closed." they were just jam-paced full of drivers who couldnt get anywhere. people sat in their cars for hours.

9:48 am

MollyL

The point is, it doesn't happen all the time here and people panic and freak out.

9:48 am

MollyL

Nope. There were roads in Virginia that were closed.

9:49 am

crosshair

i can see that oilly,i am not dancing on peoples mysery here..take a breath dear.one persons normal is chaos elsewhere

9:49 am

EvaNadine

oh, i know some roads were closed. but im talking about the beltway, 66, GW parkway, etc. those were open, just useless.

9:49 am

MollyL

I had the same back and forth with my husband until he moved down here.

9:50 am

MollyL

Then he understood that Canadian rules don't apply here.

9:50 am

EvaNadine

DOT told people to get off the roads so they could treat them, but people COULDNT get off the roads -- they couldnt drive an inch.
fed gov shouldnt have sent people home early if the roads werent ready for them.

9:50 am

crosshair

for instance i am sure an earthquake would have me pissing myself,but to locals in california they use it to stir the soup for lunch

9:52 am

crosshair

sounds like bad planning all along,NEVER wait till the last minute to send staff home if things are deteriorating

9:52 am

MollyL

I heard our Mr. 2Bit had to park a mile from his home and walk the rest of the way. Mrs. 2Bit met him half of that way in the 4WD.

9:52 am

EvaNadine

i was up and dressed, ready to slip + slide my way to the Metro when hubby suggested i contact my manager (because as of a few days ago, i have a new manager) to see if i can work from home.
technically we arent allowed to, but apparently everyone is today.

9:52 am

MollyL

That's part of the problem here. People are such work freaks that they won't stay home.

9:53 am

EvaNadine

i would have LOVED to have stayed home. but we arent allowed. :(

9:53 am

crosshair

work is highly overrated and the person that dies with the most money does not win:)

9:53 am

MollyL

And "letting people out early" yesterday just contributed to the problem.

Also Eva, boy's uncle says Connecticut Avenue is impassable. But the Feds opened on time. HUH???

yeah, see, i was actually SUPPSED to drive in today for a change (hair appt this evening, which i have since rescheduled) and Conn Ave is how i would get to work!

10:07 am

crosshair

i use double walled fridge/freezer. if you do not open the freezer much,things will keep for up to 48 hours,or like you say,just toss it outside

10:07 am

EvaNadine

we have plenty of leftover Picadillo and homemade minestrone to share. twas the perfect meal for a cold snowy evening!

10:08 am

EvaNadine

very good turnout for a first attempt. next time, more meat + less pasta. then it will be perfect! :)

10:09 am

wvteach

what is picadillo?

10:09 am

crosshair

very nice;) this winter we have become experts at cocooning though the last 2 weeks have not been bad,a few days of minus 30 and now it is mild at minus 8 and barely 8 inches of snow all week

i thought it would be questionable at best, since raisins in ground beef sounds quite strange, but i really like it!

10:11 am

EvaNadine

could also serve it on a bun sloppy-joe style or ladel over a salad or cornbread, kinda like chili.

10:11 am

10:14 am

a favorite meal around here is soup beans and cornbread - and the cornbread is always good = have a mill about an hour south of here that still grinds cornmeal - you can buy it by the bag there and some stores around here carry it also

unique to around here are pepperoni rolls - supposedly developed as a meal for underground coal miners. Had never seen or heard of them until we moved here. You can get them in all sizes. Think of a dinner roll with slices / sticks of pepperoni baked inside. Sometimes also put cheese inside with it.

10:18 am

Teach, that sounds like my stromboli. I roll out a loaf of bread dough, put slices of ham, pepperoni and white American cheese on it, and then roll it up. Bake until golden brown and cut into pinwheel slices. This is one of my kids favorite things that I make.

With it just being two of us, I make bread dough in bulk and freeze it. I have found people have problems using frozen food. I'm not sure why.

i don't mind using frozen food that i've made and frozen myself... i just find things yummier when i make them myself than when i buy them, usually.

10:48 am

Minveryork

When I came onto this websi 4/4, I was st 4/5ned at how small the grid was.Didn't need to shake my fi 4/7 at my monkeys. I did not feel the need to sl 4/4 their throats. I also didn't feel the need to st5/14 on their heads. Hate to to4/4 my own horn, but I really didn't need the monkeys at all. I gl 4/7med onto Lickety's li 4/4 and finished mo4/5 of the grid.I'm saving my last word for later. Now here's a story of clues for you to si4/7 through. The doom and gl5/16 of this Winter is getting to me. I do know that another snow storm lo 4/5s ahead.We already have too much mo 5/12 snow on the ground. I can't even see one spot of so 4/4 on the ground.I even saw a mo5/14 in my house one day who was sick of the snow too. When I went outside 1 day,the cold weather st5/16 my eyes. My to 4/4 are frozen by the time I am done walking the dog. I must admit though,when the mo4/5 shines on the snow, it is pretty. My te4/4age nephew loves Winter & skiing in the snow. However, I know that I am not alo4/4 in my feelings about Winter.Husband hates Winter too. After every storm, he has to to 4/4 in the snow with the snow blower. Takes more than just a little to 4/4 to get rid of the snow.However,my hatred of Winter is a mo 4/5 point. Spring isn't coming anytime so4/4. When spring does get here though, that will li 4/7 my spirits. Hubby is being a lo5/12 and wants to use the computer. He drives me nu 4/5 with his addiction to Farmville. I hope you've se4/4 some more words with this story, or at least the easy on 4/4. Be back later.
